Quick Question

get your bike going and let go of handlebars and sit up, does your bike balance perfectly straight on its own or do you have to do some balance adjusting with your body? I have to slightly lean left to hold it straight, but my chain slack adjustors are equal, checked them a few ways to doublecheck.

Totally let go of the bars and sit up and back.

I have to counterlean to the left a bit to hold it straight

Can somebody do me a favor real quick i am at work... can you measure what size the holes are thatgo through the swing arm pivot and the rear axle bolt hole, so i can get some dowel rods to verify further on my alignment.

OK due to having to counterlean the bike to keep it straight when going handless and sitting upright, I went and did a "String" alignment and it ended up putting out a difference of 1/8" from the left and right side, based on the markings. So i test rided it around the neighborhood to see if it balanced better when going no hands, it still leans a tad on its own, so I am not sure which method to go by...the alignment marks or the string method. I am gonna check it against the string again to see if it replicates the same result
